What is that??

He sure doesn't look cute and cuddly, or companionable. (Is that a word?)
Companionable is definitely a word in my book:) he’s a male Jackson’s Chameleon... his scientific name is Trioceros jacksonii... closest I could get to the Triceratops for my son:)

Inconceivable!!! Why would anyone endeavor to accomplish anything other than keeping up in the CDR??? I am having a drink now while playing with the critters..

I noticed on Chomper today that his protuberances always look like they are shedding... so you think that’s normal? I’m wondering if the whiteness is superfluous or if that’s just the norm? This is my first Chameleon if you remember.. I do think he is full size now. He’s got some really sharp nails and massive leg muscles. View attachment 305552
S/he's so cute. I wouldn't know but I'd kinda bet that when one gets full grown that won't be as often. That's just a guess on my part.? How big do they get? Temptations...

I think this is about it for size.... I met a really Cool one in a nursery one time (garden) He was a Panther and got much bigger. I’d really like to have one of those!

Does he like to be handled? I've only known about veiled, and they do not want to be handled at all.

He doesn’t seem to mind.. My son gets him out all the time.. It’s very difficult to pry him loose from something so I’m thinking he goes willingly.. I get him out some and he’s agreeable but I’m no judge on that score because I have that “thing” with animals..

Jason, listen up!

Jellyfish jiggle with joy!
Armadillos are armed with armor!
Lively leprechauns leap!
Meercats are merry and mischievous!
And the wooly spider is female! She knits! (That is, if she exists!)

Now what's weird about them??

After reading this post again, I think it came across as harsh. That was certainly not my intent. It was supposed to be funny.

I apologize to anyone who thought I was actually chastening Chubbs, especially to Chubbs himself.

(Though to be honest, I was, just a tiny bit :))

All was in fun. I'm not the "anything" police.
